Yes, your home manager can give LORs. If she's hesitant, remind her of the urgency and offer to draft it for her approval.

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

Hi everyone, I have joined service based company 3 months ago and I’m in the initial stages of my career. I am planning for my MS in US in 2024. The days are approaching, I need to get LOR from 1 manager atleast.

How do I ask them about writing an LOR for me? They will for sure ask for a reason and I’m scared about their reaction of me leaving the company a year later since they’ve invested their time and efforts in training me. I have no past internships done, otherwise I would get LOR from ex- manager. Any advice would be really appreciated!

LOR from managers

System Engineer

I’m on my notice right now and plan on going for an MBA sometime after a couple of years. Should I request my current employer to provide me a LOR right now, before I’ve moved on? Or should I just inform them right now and take it when I’m actually applying to B Schools? 
Also also, what should the format of the LOR be?

When should I ask my director/partner for a LOR?

Hi Guys,

I need advice on something, In a service company, I was moved to a client project and it's a big application, it'll take time for me to understand but the managers are living in a fantasy world where they are expecting me to understand and start fixing bugs and delivery super early because they have very strict deadlines with the client. Client is also aggressive.

I'll do my very best but my 2 questions are

1. I'm not able to deliver even after doing my best, If they lay me off because of performance, can these managers do something with my offer letter, like not giving it or writing something wrong in the relieving letter which might cause issues in background verification, if I maintain good behaviour at least.

2. How do you guys handle such retards when they are pushing down on you, how do you reply to them when they are pinging you with nonsense.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I'm currently working from home .
My office is also very near to where I stay.
I have got an offer from another company , which is very far from my home and the recruiter is saying that you may have to come once in a while .

My concern is that , how do I convince them to give me permanent work from home .
Should I talk to the recruiter (HR) or should I directly talk to the senior most person (Director-who took the interview).

Although once in a while is ok with me , but if the company tomorrow says that you have to come once in a week , then that will be a challenge for me .

I want to grow in life but also can't leave my family .

What should I do ?

Company change , work from required .

Data scientist

Recently I had an interview with Accenture last week. I got shortlisted by the same day at night and got an email for completing a task in Workday which is submitting PAN And last 3 months pay slips. The next day received a call from HR, He discussed the compensation and DOJ and said you will get confirmation by the same day only. But it's been more than 4-5 working days, I haven't received my Offer Letter yet. 

Also got a BGV mail for complete but it requires Resignation detail too with LOA.

But how can I submit resignation without any offer Letter. 

Or usually ACCENTURE taking that much time only in releasing offer letter.

Can anyone help with this.

How much does Accenture take to release an offer letter for experienced candidates.

Technical support

My partner works at a product company that has a US HQ quite close to where I live and work. She is what you would call a critical resource of the company leading and driving multiple projects. She likes her role and while she will be relocating to US, wants to do everything to keep it in one way or another. 

Besides from the usual process of submitting resignation, how can she make effective use of the fact that she could potentially move here internally on an L1 visa or worst case keep connections warm and re-apply for a role here after relocating to US. Anything better than notice period and severing all ties. 

My perception of moving internally to US/Europe has been that its not only extremely difficult because companies here would prefer having an India cost center given its layoff/recession season in US but also due to the challenge of headcount requirements in the same business unit. Besides an L1 application costs about $15k. 

All of these factors make things trickier for her to keep her job in some form or the other.

How should she make the most of this situation? Are there any other outcomes here that I am missing?

I have an onshore counterpart, one level above me. We two are setting up the project and conducting workshops. The problems I have are:

1. I work in the B shift from 2 PM to 11 PM since the client is in PST. But i login usually at 10-11
2. My onshore counterpart works in EST but logs in very late.
3. Although I work in the B shift, I often extend until 1 AM because I am preparing all the PPTs and doing research. I have to explain everything I do daily for 2-3 hours. She schedules meetings during the PST afternoon to present that work.
4. It has been 2 months of the same routine. In every weekly stand-up, she gets appreciation as if she did the work and research, without giving me any credit.
5. I can escalate the issue, but no one will listen because she has been here for 12 years, whereas I joined a year ago. She has strong networking with the leadership, which I lack.
6. I can ask for release, but I like this project and have provided solutions for some challenging gaps. I feel very bad because I work for 16-18 hours per day. She could schedule the meeting in the PST morning, but she purposely schedules it in the PST afternoon and gets the credit for my work.

PS: i saw her creating a transcript to read during the meeting

Do people like this really exist? If you have personal commitments, why come to work? Don’t you have a conscience and feel guilty about stealing credit for others’ work? Nowadays, there are many posts related to stopping gender-based reservations. Is it because of situations like this?

Associate manager

I have put down my papers. My LWD will be on 10th of Jan. I am trying to convince my manager that since I will not be part of my current team after this PI (Program Increment) which will end on 6th December, I can't really contribute that much to a new team in a month of time.
All I am asking is to reduce the NP by 10 days since we have an annual shutdown from 25th dec. But the manager is not understanding. What should I do l?

Manager not reducing notice period for even 7 working days

Need Help, After clearing all the interview round HR send a mail with agreed compensation, asking for resignation acceptance letter before release offer letter, is this normal or I am getting tricked ?

Web developer

Hi everyone,

I need advice on the next steps. I submitted my resignation 20 days ago, but my manager hasn't approved it yet. She insists that I serve the full 60 day notice period, of which 20 days are already completed. I've requested to shorten it to a 40 day notice period, but she hasn't accepted my request. I'm also willing to buy out the remaining notice period. 

If I proceed with the buyout, will it affect my relieving and experience letters or cause any issues during the background verification process.
Should I talk  to her manager regarding this , as now she's on sick leave for entire 1 week.

Please advise on what to do.

Thanks.

Resignation not Accepting

Hello folks, recently one of my friend got laid off. The new company is requesting for any doc/email or acknowledgement. However, he only received FnF and nothing. Wanted to understand if any company gives the doc or any acknowledgement that can be treated as a proof? And any suggestions to tackle this?
